If you want a scanner to digitize old family memories, then the MemoScan has a lot to offer. Once you've installed the software it's easy to use and its rapid scan times mean you can get through a load of negs or trannies quickly.

We Dislike

The MagicTouch anti dust feature is good but we're not confident it works in all situations, with larger dust particles persisting.

Verdict

Based on current technologies, CMOS scanners will always lag behind conventional scanner designs when it comes to image quality, although the MemoScan is better than some models we've seen.

The reflecta MemoScan is the first scanner with CMOS sensor which offers an automatic dust and scratch removal via infrared sensor (Magic Touch). The fast scan speed and the dust and scratch removal function allow for an efficient working. The included slide holder accommodates up to 4 mounted slides, the film holder film strips with up to 6 photos.
